“La Cage Aux Folles” is the biggie opening over the next few days, theater-wise, but there are a few other options as well:

“Lil Revengers” and “Mortal Komedy”:﻿﻿﻿The Rose Theatre crew is offering a double feature partly designed to honor Sawyer Manley, son of theater owners Chris Manley and Jessie Rose, during his birthday month. Sawyer, who turns 6 on May 23, has wanted to play a superhero onstage since watching the adult show “The Revengers” last year.

“He wanted to be Spider-Man, and I thought, ‘We can do that,'” Manley said.

Manley removed all the profanity from the original script and put a kid-friendly spin wherever needed. When he wasn't sure of which way to go, he simply looked to Sawyer.

“It's amazing how much he reminds me of me as a kid,” Manley said. “He helps me remember and channel that childhood spirit. It's not hard whenever you have someone like that around.”

“Mortal Komedy” is an adult-oriented spoof of the video game “Mortal Kombat,” which Manley played as a kid and which Sawyer is now getting into. No knowledge of the game is necessary to enjoy the show, Manley said: “There's enough exposition to explain it all.”

“Lil Revengers” is at 7:30 p.m. Fridays-Saturdays through May 19; tickets cost $6. “Mortal Komedy” is at 9 p.m. Fridays-Saturdays through May 19; tickets $10-$12. Both shows can be seen at the Rose Theatre Company, 11838 Wurzbach Road. Call 210-360-0004 for reservations.

“Red Velvet Cupcake War”: The comedy — written by Jessie Jones, Nicholas Hope and Jamie Wooten, who also wrote audience faves “Christmas Belles” and “Dearly Beloved” — is built around the Wyvette cousins. The gals are going through a serious rough patch, which is not helped by their upcoming family reunion. (The reunion includes, as the title suggests, a war over who makes the best red velvet cake.)

The show opens Thursday and can be seen at 8 p.m. Thursdays-Saturdays and 2:30 p.m. Sundays through May 20 at the Krause House Theatre, 1300 Bulverde Road in Bulverde. (You'll need other plans for Mother's Day: There's no performance May 13.) Tickets $10-18; optional pre-show meals served 90 minutes before performance. Call 830-438-2339 for reservations.
